Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert to Perform At-Home for ACM Special

The Academy of Country Music and dick clark productions announced Thursday the lineup for their new special, ACM Presents: Our Country — and it’s just as star-studded as their annual award show (which was postponed from April 5 to Sept. 16 due to the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, outbreak) was expected to be.

Airing in place of the ACM Awards on April 5, the two-hour special will feature at-home acoustic performances by Kelsea Ballerini, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Old Dominion, Thomas Rhett, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. Among those slated to perform duets are Kane Brown and John Legend, Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker, and longtime couple Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.

Bryan, Paisley and Rucker will all honor late country music hall of fame singer Kenny Rogers, who died on Friday from natural causes at the age of 81.

In addition to the performances, the special will also feature intimate conversations with the country music superstars and clips from the ACM Awards’ 55-year history.

“Although the highly anticipated 55th ACM Awards show is unable to take place on April 5th due to the health crisis, we still wanted to deliver fans an entertaining ACM Country Music special as planned,” ACM CEO Damon Whiteside said in a statement last week.

“We are thrilled to announce ACM Presents: Our Country, an all-new special that allows fans to connect with their favorite country artists and to relive some of the greatest moments of the ACM Awards, all from the comfort and safety of their own homes,” he added.
